Marrotl,---Suffer me to draw the attention of yOur IleaJers ►o a subject which, notwithst:tutl ing its great- importance, dues not seem to excite much intereitswitji the Public, and to point out a circumstance that to me has rather a titrangt ap pearance. The amended Poor LAW BILL, whieti general report attributes to a Magistrate residing in the Country, and which report is strongly coofirined by Mr. S. BOURNE, wtio declared that he did not • .- draw up the Bi11;lis so little approved rif in the parish whence,. it is st4j)posed to have emanated, that a Petition has been presented to Parliament against it, signed by seventy of the inhabitants, the majority of them Freeholders, and many of them the Most respectable persons in the place. The whole population is somewhere about three thousand, so that the feelings recorded by the Petition.must be pretty genera(. What,Sir, does this fact indicate Were Ito be : personal on so general a subject, it might perhaps afford ample scope for animadversibn, and sr? to eXplain the probable intent of some of the clauses, as to open the eyes of the public. But 1 content myself at present with calling upon them to examine it minutely, and respectfully desiring those Mem bers of Parliament who may not be thoroughly acquainted with the subject to pause, and not to give their support to the Bill in question, until they_have consulted the feelings of their Consti tuents. A Petition, respectably signed, against a Bill framed by , the leading man of the parish, speaks such volumes 'as to its general character, that it would have been unnecessary for-me to have no ticed it, bad it not happened (from what cause I know not) that its presentation to the House at Commons has not been recorded in any of Daily Papers which 1 have seen. I remain, your humble servant, Bedford, May 5, 1818. A. B. APPEAL OF FELONY. FOR THE SUN. Mr.EDrroa,—The history of this sort of appeal is almost, from its antiquity and, desuetude, as little kndwn in the profession as by the public at large. It is of Gothic origin, and prevailed in Germany anti France on the dismemberment of the Roman EMpire, and . the irruptions of the Northern Nations on the Continent. It is a pro secution for crime by one individual against ano• titer; to be punished at his instance, and not by the Crown, as for a public offence. It savours much of the weregild, or satisfaction in money, as an expiation ; but when weregild ceased, prosecu tions by APPEAL, for atrocious delinquency, conti nued, till altered by the statutes ut Edward 111. and Henry IV. which left appeals only for felony or mayhem; either by the parties, for theft, rape, bouseburning, or by battery; or by a wife, for the murder or manslaughter of her husband ; or heir-male, for the murder of his ancestor. It must be brought in a year and a day after C.e crime, previous to any indictment, and :at the suit of the parry. So it a person be tried On the pro secation of the King, for murder, and found guilty, or' acquitted,' but pardoned, the wite or r heir may appeal against it. If the culprit be, at quitted, the appellant shall, by a statute of Ed ward I. be imprisoned twelve months, pay a fine and damages to the 01.1, or in default his ab . et. tors for him. This kept an appeal out of com mon use ; but if the culprit were convicted, be suffered the same as if prosecuted by indictment, and none could pardon him but the party. In this manner a private individual has either the heathenish power to gratify a vindictive spirit of hunting a felon to colvicdon and death, or the mercenary power to remit all punishment for mo ney; which is an undeniaYe.reastm w hy it ought to be destroyed by the benign spirit of Christia nity. The last instance was the case of the two Ken. nedys in the year 1770, who in a frotick one Bighey, a watt-bumf), on ‘Vestminster B for which they were tried and convicted, htit afterwards pardoned by the Clown. Ilis t,idovr was instigated to bring her appeal, which before trial she abandoned for two hundred pounds. • Under a Christian Government this is infa- MOUS ; and the recent case of Thornton leads IS devoutly to wish, that sn• typed of felony may soon be blotted for ever front oisr criminal, code, and consigned to eternal oblivion, together with the savage trial by battle, of which more here. after, and immediately, from 07 ) Lard it 01 1 bee' it of ttic ' red , re re' ,ar s e tits d i 1c CII e ot 1 401' t: to ~i~ li ~ n~>~~ I oil; lOC coo: 43' 19 f ir. 0.4 efc c4 e fC r 0 14 'ill de ' lls' 1114 bi 3 g, 4 ;01(;1g t 0 1' C (10; fo r Cr e ( 4 - e l'" c:e rif e 0 (1 1 lieC e ise° °l ; iss°4° ci Eserjesi
